Poll: Soda tax repeal gaining ground

A new Elway Poll shows Initiative 1107, which would repeal temporary sales taxes on candy, soda, and bottled water, has gained support over the last two months, going from 47 percent “definitely” or “probably” favoring the measure in September, to 54 percent “definitely” or “probably” opposing it.

In addition, support for the high-earners’ income tax, Initiative 1098, has slipped substantially, going from 46 percent support in June to 41 percent this month.
